Several pieces are long-standing works that have evolved throughout the years. Others are compositions created over shorter spans of time and will likely never be performed again. The mix creates a broad ecology that holds together well.

Zen and the Piano began as a soundtrack to a course on developing workflow skills called Zen and The Art of Work, but has since evolved to be a stand-alone album of instrumental piano music.
